I’ve been having a blast testing gadgets, crafting cool video effects, and even chasing stars with my phone—and I’m excited to share it all with you! This week, you’ll find my latest product reviews, a fun X-ray effect tutorial, and a guide to capturing the night sky. Let’s get started! How to Create an X-Ray Effect with Your Phone (CapCut Tutorial) Want your phone to “see” through objects like a sci-fi gadget? Here’s a quick CapCut trick: Fill your phone screen with a solid green color. Record yourself “scanning” a box with the green screen displayed. Remove the box, place an object in the same spot, and record a few seconds without moving the camera. Open CapCut, start a new project, and import your recording. Move the timeline to where the scan ends, then split the clip. Select the scanning clip, tap “Overlay,” and go to “Remove BG > Chroma Key.” Use the color picker to select green, confirm, and trim the clips to sync perfectly. Result: A seamless “see-through” effect! Want the ...

Is It Bad to Post TikToks Back to Back? How Long Should You Wait Between Posting TikTok Videos?

Is It Bad to Post TikToks Back to Back? So, here’s what happened. I checked my latest two TikTok videos, and both are stuck at just 200-ish views. Honestly, it’s discouraging—like, “should I even keep going?” vibes. I know I need to post more reels to stay relevant, but now I’m second-guessing myself. I think I messed up by posting them too close together—less than 30 minutes apart. Is that why they’re tanking? Maybe it’s some kind of algorithmic punishment for posting back-to-back. Next time, I’m definitely spreading them out. But it got me curious—do other people deal with this too? I hit the internet to find out. Turns out, I’m not alone. According to discussions on Reddit, posting multiple TikToks back-to-back isn’t a great idea. Apparently, the algorithm might flag it as spammy behavior, which can tank your reach and make it less likely for your videos to hit the For You Page. The consensus? Space out your posts by at least a few hours to give each video a fighting chance. Lesson ...

How I took a picture of the stars and planets with my Samsung phone - Planetary Alignment 2025

Here is how I took a picture of the stars and planets with my Samsung phone. I have always wanted to take a clear picture of the stars on a clear night sky, so I studied all the settings I needed to adjust on my camera. But I had to wait for the planets to align to discover that my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra can do exactly that.  The first step is to open the native camera app on my phone. Go to the More option and select Expert Raw. Since I haven't used Raw for quite some time, it asked me to download an update. Next, tap on the Astrophotography icon, which looks like a constellation of stars. Activate Show in Sky Guide. Select Short for Capture Time. Next, stick my phone onto my magnetic pocket tripod and point it at the star or planet I want to photograph. Press the shutter button. Wait a few seconds, and boom! I have a picture of the stars and planets in the night sky that my naked eye cannot even see. So easy! No need to buy a big camera with all that fancy lens for astrophotogr...

How I Got 1 Million Views on a TikTok E-commerce Video Selling a Shower Head Holder Without Ads

🚿 Here’s how I got 1 million views on an e-commerce video without spending a cent on ads. This is about a 58-second TikTok video I created to sell a simple shower head holder through TikTok Shop as an affiliate, earning a commission on each sale. Yes, a shower head holder—nothing fancy or tech-related. It was a silent challenge to myself to prove I could sell anything with a video. First, I requested a free sample from the vendor so I could feature it in my video. Then, I posted the video on TikTok with a link to the product, allowing the vendor to track clicks and pay me a commission for every unit sold. That video has been up for five months now. Today, it has over 6,600 likes, 230+ comments, 1,700 saves, and a whopping 1 MILLION views. Amazing, right? And all without paying for ads. Here’s how I made it happen: ✅️Teach, don’t sell. I scripted the video in a problem-solution format, like a tutorial. Instead of pushing a sale, I showed viewers step-by-step how I solved a commo...

Honest Product Review: Why I'm Sharing My Disappointment (and Unexpected Sales!)

Ever bought something that promised the moon but delivered… well, not even a crater? 😅  I've been there!  As a content creator, I get to try out a lot of products. Some are amazing, some are just okay, and then there are the ones that make you wonder, "Did they even test this thing?"   Recently, I reviewed a product that fell squarely into the "disappointment" category.   It didn't live up to its advertising claims, and I made sure to point out all the discrepancies in my review video. Now, usually, if a product is truly bad, I'll just post the review on one platform and call it a day.   I figure it's not worth promoting something I wouldn't recommend to my own family and friends.   BUT here's the crazy part: this video has been generating sales!  I was completely shocked.  People are actually buying this thing despite my honest review. This experience has taught me a valuable lesson.  Even negative reviews can drive sale...
